FIRE SAFETY

Due to the installation of our special Betonyp panels, our individual elements achieve the highest levels of fire resistance – REI90.

Properly dimensioned wooden construction has extremely high fire safety and can withstand more severe strains than steel and concrete. Wood has a very low heat transfer capacity since it conducts is 300–400-times slower than steel, so with a wooden prefabricated construction, fire is more easily controlled.

When burning, wood creates its own protection in the form of a charred layer, which shields the inner load-bearing core, so the construction’s load-bearing properties are not impaired. An important fact to note also is that no toxic gases are emitted during wood combustion, which are the prevailing cause of death in the case of a fire.

At Jelovica, we install JELOSTRONG Betonyp panels with which we achieve and surpass even the highest standards of fire resistance (F90) in practically all exterior and interior wall elements.
